The Palace At Midnight
Rating
Robert Silverberg is one of the greats of SFF, and his short story output has been prolific and exceptional in quality. Fifth in a projected eight volumes collecting all of the short stories and novellas SF Grandmaster Silverberg wants to take their place on the permanent shelf. Each volume will be roughly 150,000-200,000 words, with classics and lesser known gems alike. Mr. Silverberg has also graced us with a lengthy introduction and extensive story notes for each tale. This volume covers the years from 1980 to 1982, when Silverberg returned to writing short fiction after a long gap. Fired up by his rediscovery of the form, Silverberg produced some of his masterpieces. Included here are such classic tales as 'Our Lady of the Sauropods' and 'Dancers in the Time-Flux', as well as 21 other stories.
